3D mice and other hardware may run a local server for web applications to use them as input methods. The dialog can also show up if you are using network security software which proxies requests via private IP address range. Plenty of other

Yep, I've been importing CDs to Apple Music (which I buy from my local music store) and adding them to my Android phone for personal listening. It's a great way to spend money on music in a way that supports local businesses!

Well, it's posted on Hacker News which is a general audience including people working on electrical/signal/audio/radio-frequency systems among other things (not just low-level network code) where BPF has a different mean

Sure, but if you are sharing with a general audience (where people aren't necessarily coming from your own domain) it's a good idea to make the writing accessible. My first thought would have been Band-Pass Filter, which is also a

Alternatively, it is a conscious decision to help prevent users from causing complicated situations. Given a highly configurable system, users will find ways to (unintentionally) tie it into knots, so adding some guardrails can help reduce

It's easy to convert because CSG is a small subset of what BREP can do. It's analogous to "all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares" (squares=CSG, rectangles=BREP) CSG by itself isn't suitable

Creo (and Onshape) both support STEP AP242 export, but customers may choose to export to an older version for better compatibility with third-party systems that have not implemented recent standards. Generally, at export time, choosing the

I think there's a lot of potential for some more old-school UI in business software. People using points of sale, CRM/ERP/PLM/etc. systems, intranet portals, and so on don't really care about how nice it looks. Effi

I've also felt that composition is unnecessarily hard in web & data infrastructure. I do game development as a hobby, and web + data technology is in the stone age compared to game engines when it comes to composability. For exampl

You can just git submodule in the dependencies. Super easy. Also makes it straightforward to develop patches to send upstream from within your project. Or to replace a dependency with a private fork. In my experience, this works great for l

No, it means using the crypto module in the standard library instead of importing some third party dependency.

There are certainly security benefits to keeping things in-house. Less exposure to supply-chain attacks (e.g. shai-hulud malware) and widespread security bugs (e.g. react server components server-side RCE). Plus it's much easier to do

Thanks for creating and sharing that resource! I'm reading through it now, and it looks fantastic. I'll share it the next time someone asks where to get started with web dev. Come to think of it, I should write up the techniques I

yeah, plus stack traces, debuggers, and profiling tools are easier to use when all of the non-essential complexity is stripped out. which in turn means it's possible to work productively on software that solves more complex problems. t

I really think writing dependency-free JavaScript is the way to go nowadays. The standard library in JS/CSS is great. So are static analysis (TypeScript can check JSDoc), imports (ES modules), UI (web components), etc. People keep tell

Take async for example. You have to choose some third-party async runtime which may or may not work with other runtimes, libraries, platforms, etc. With Go, async code written in Go 1.0 compiles and runs the same in Go 1.26, and there is no

Because displaying user-submitted images is pretty common and doesn't feel like a security footgun, but displaying user-submitted HTML is less common (and will raise more careful security scrutiny).
